Emergent Structures Assembled by Large Swarms of Simple Robots Traditional architecture relies on construction processes that require careful planning and strictly defined outcomes at every stage; yet in nature, millions of relatively simple social insects collectively build large complex nests without any global coordination or blueprint. Here, we present a testbed designed to explore how emergent structures can be assembled using swarms of active robots manipulating passive building blocks in two dimensions. The robot swarm is based on the toy ?bristlebotAuthor(s): Andreen, David; Jenning, Petra; Napp, Nils; Peters
